Introduction:

The Child Care Center Business Plan provides a description of the center, tells whom the center serves, and outlines its competition. In addition, it lays out the center’s marketing strategy (how the center will maintain full occupancy), and explains the financial operations of the center. The Plan should provide the reader the ability to understand the child care industry itself, as well as the details about my specific center.

 The Sections of the Child Care Center Business Plan includes (1) The Business Introduction, (2) The Business Organization Section,(3)The Management/Operations Section, (4)The Marketing Section, (5)The Financial Section and (6)Supporting Documents.

Developing the Child Care Center Business Plan is a process which includes: firstly, outlining the general concept of “Day Care Center”. Secondly, conducting research. Thirdly, refining my ideas based on my research. And fourthly, developing specific components of the Plan.

 (Objectives) the Sections of the Child Care Center Business Plan:

• The Business Introduction
• The Business Organization Section
• The Management/Operations Section
• The Marketing Section
• The Financial Section
• Supporting Documents

The Child Care Center Business Plan that I developed through this process:

• Describes why my child care center is a needed.
• Describes in detail how the center will operate

Child Care Business Plan has some functions:

• It forces me to define the “mission” of my center, my center’s goals, and my action plan to meet these goals
• It compels me to look at my center objectively to determine its feasibility
• It communicates my center’s ideas to friends, family, investors, bankers, supporters, and others within my management team
• It serves as an operating tool to help you run your center

These sections are interrelated. The marketing section, for instance, cannot exist without the financial section, and visa versa. This means that when I am writing the marketing section

I must keep track of any financial implications (costs involved in communicating, for example: brochures, media, etc.)When presenting a Child Care Center Business Plan to a bank or investor, include a cover letter stating how much money I am  requesting, the type of loan (equipment, line of credit, etc.), and a specific description of how I will use the money. It is important that I include financial spreadsheets showing my method of intended repayment.

How and why did we enter the child care field?

Now in our country most of the educated persons are unemployed after completing their graduation. In this reason most of us are going to bad sectors like, terrorism, smuggling, robbery, and educated by drug. So I am decided to set up a legal business firm, in these sense I am decided to set up a Day care center for Child care. Most of the employed parents are always busy on their job so I  selected that part and we thought to set up a Child care home, so that I can built them as an perfect value for our society.

This document was created by a collaborative team to help current and potential child care center owners/managers/directors start up and continue to provide stable and quality child care. The team brought together business consultants and early childhood specialists to develop a plan that will combine best business practices with appropriate care and education of young children.

This project paper is designed to be used as a workbook. There is a two-page business plan overview, followed by workbook pages highlighting each section of the business plan.
